<p>Hi! I am planning to give the SAT this January and this would be my first time so could anyone please give me a detailed guide on how to prepare for it especially the essay portion? Also, which are the best books to prepare from? I have Princeton's Cracking the SAT (2008 edition), Gruber's Maths Workbook and Barron' How to Prepare for the SAT (2008) abd Barron's separate workbooks for the three sections. I will get the College Board book later. Oh, and what is the difference in the latest editions of the above mentioned books? Lastly, how do I get my essay marked since I will be studying on my own?</p>
<p>Get yourself the Blue Book. :D</p>
<p>I do have 7-8 tests of College Board but besides that which is the best prep book from the ones I have? And should I do each section separately?</p>
<p>The best one is Barron’s.</p>
<p>For writing, the first step would be to learn the difference between advice and advise. (jk)</p>
<p>Both spellings are correct xD</p>
<p>^I hope your being sarcastic :o.</p>
